We were lucky to spend our Saturday at the beautiful garden party wedding of our friends Rob (one of Mr. Lemon’s groomsman) and Victoria on Saturday evening here in LA. The event was held in the valley in her mother’s lush and expansive backyard, with greens elements and garden themes throughout.

Now since we got engaged only six days apart, our wedding plans have been intricately linked throughout the last year. If I had to pick one little pet project of hers, I’d pick her amazing seating cards and display:

That’s real grass in there!!

Detailed picture of the painted rocks. Your table number was on the back of each rock (as shown by #12).

Everyone was “ooh-ing & aww-ing” over them, as they were set-up on an upper deck near the appetizers and the bar. It fit perfectly into the decor and looked like it just belonged there.

Victoria also had wonderful green touches on her dress (Carolina Herrera) and since she bought it at a trunk show, they custom-made a veil for her with the same green ribbon edging on the dress. Their cake also had the ribbon wrapped on it… and everything just seemed to flow perfectly together.

Instead of favors, they opted for the popular RedCheese photobooth which they set-up in the driveway of the house. There was a constant line for photos all night, and we only got to take a couple strips…but I saw people walking around with tons of them so I know they got their money’s worth. The quality of the photos was really great, however, and they even included a little link at the bottom to download your strip online.

The lovely couple (seriously… how cute is this?)

We opted for black and white

My camera was acting up so I didn’t get many more photos before the sun went down, but the scene was lit with tiki torches in the foliage and floating candles in the landscaped stream and in the pool (which only two people ended up in by the end of the night). It was hard to realize that it was just her mom’s backyard when we left (since it underwent drastic transformations from ceremony time to cocktail hour to dinner hour to dessert), which means they pulled off the perfect backyard wedding. Congrats you two and enjoy Greece!!!
